Hi all,
I've checked out the sticky on "Latest Exchange Rates" but have noticed that somebody was recently chastised for posing a question about Canadian vs US dollars when coming to the DR:
"This thread is for posting current exchange rates ONLY. Please post questions to other threads or create you own thread."
OK, so to avoid a virtual bo**ocking, I'll start a thread which I hope will be of help to ALL users of ALL currencies, not just the US$.
As a UK resident and, following the recent extreme changes in exchange rates (from my point of view the UK? has dropped from nearly two dollars to the pound to 1 dollar 50 cents), it would be helpful if DR1's would post the exchange rate for Canadian dollars, Euros, US dollars and UK pounds to the peso if they have the info & the time. There is generally a board/poster at Cambios that covers all popular currencies [when last I was there on 6th October].
If posters would be willing to do this then visitors would be able to make the decision, in advance, whether to bring their home currency or exchange for US$/DOP$. This would maximise their spending potential, be they a once a year visitor or somebody who is fortunate enough to be able to visit more.
If there is a "sticky" as to what the weather is going to be like, surely this would be as useful to posters and readers alike.
In my humble opinion.....
Regards
Reidy
